cynical

lyrics

In the arms of a river not flowing water but beads of life
I am sung like some old story wishing to rise from pages rife
With marks and bruises, a young boy chooses between two gods
One of truth and lasting fortune one of fear for fading odds

I've been cynical too long Thought I'd seen all and I'm wrong
Taking stock of all these years I could've lived without these fears
I've had chips across my shoulder Growing heavier the older I get
Now it's all so clear I could live without it

I'm too cynical I'm too cynical
Life's too magical To be this cynical
Can you tell what I'm thinking Just by looking between my eyes
Favored folks and bright young heroes Those are weirdos just in disguise

Don't wait for answers Come join the dancers who dance like you
I'll see you there Out in the hallways
And as always you'll see me too

I've been cynical too long Thought I'd seen all and I'm wrong
Taking stock of all these years I could've lived without these fears
I've had chips across my shoulder Growing heavier the older I get
Now it's all so clear I could live without it
It's about time I'm too cynical

Life's too magical To be this cynical
Is there any wonder why anyone does any number of wonderful things
Just because I could live with it
Live with it Live with it

Live with it give a shit
Live with it Live with it
It's about time I'm too cynical
I'm too cynical

I'm too cynical
